The only person who can protect my vote is me. I can only protect my neighbor's vote by reminding them of that fact of life so that they take care to ensure their registration is current and their ID or whatever else is needed is also current and valid. Thus, while Greg is likely correct on nearly all points, where were Democrats to ensure - well in advance - that their voter blocks are ready to vote legally? Nobody knocked on my door or mailed me any reminders.
For example, in the 2020 election, my mail-in vote was rejected because the county handwriting expert decided my shakey 73-year-old signature did not match my 65-year-old registration signature. As I voted the day after getting the ballot, as always, I drove down to the county clerk's office, with my letter, and validated my ballot. In 2024, I practiced my signature several times before putting it on the envelope and it flew this time.
People need to be reminded that if they change apartments they need to update their official address on their driver's license AND voter registration. They also need to learn that if they fail to vote in any election, they risk being purged on the assumption of moving or dying. Thus, the only defense against the ruthless Ken Paxtons of America appears to be persistent reminders of such facts by the Democratic party in every district - well before every vote.
